It’ll also make it easy to remove unnecessary CSS. Tachyons is small (weighing in under 14k gzipped), but it’s still worth removing any CSS you don’t need, especially if you’re not gzipping.

If you’re obsessing over performance you might appreciate putting your CSS in the document head rather than referring to an external stylesheet.

As for Why use Jekyll and Tachyons?.. I’ve written about why I use Tachyons full stop, but this also provides a really quick and easy way to prototype HTML pages that share components such as a header and footer. Just edit your header and footer files in the Jekyll _includes folder and you’re away. All depends on how you work, of course, but I like getting into the browser as soon as possible.
